Heard of Cli-Fi? That's what I took on for the latest @cbcradio #tech and I have some #book recommendations for your fall and 🎁 lists! I spoke with climate fiction experts about what the genre brings to the work of mitigating and adapting to climate change Here we go 1/6
It’s like science fiction, except it takes readers into imagined worlds drastically impacted by climate change and populations trying somewhat far-out tech to save themselves. CBC’s @manjaselva looks at the appeal of #clifi.

How has science fiction engaged with pandemics? From Mary Shelley to @SarahPinsker, I look at a range of plagues as metaphor, as thought experiment, as narrative device, and suggest how such texts might be helpful in the way we think out disease, and societies.
I have a new publication. My article "New ways: the pandemics of science fiction" appears in a special issue of @royalsociety journal Interface Focus as part of an #openaccess special issue on "COVID-19: science, history, culture and imagination": royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
